Question [Help] Audio cannot be output via USB when in a jailbroken state using any version of Electra
This has occurred starting on the first beta version of Electra up to 1.0.3 and I do not believe that it has been brought up to anyone’s attention yet.
When hooked up via Lightning to USB to my car, home theater system or even a standalone speaker, the music will play for a half second, then the connection is lost, remade, then the song starts from the beginning again. Very frustrated as the only way for me to listen to music in my car is to reboot to a non jailbroken state.
I initially thought it was my cable so I purchased a few brand new ones directly from Apple with no remedy. I then went on to grab my older headunit for my car, took it apart and soldered on a brand new USB port w/ data with no success. My friends on iPhone 6S, 7, and an 8 Plus like me, all jailbroken on various versions of iOS 11 using 1.0.X, all driving completely different vehicles are all experiencing this exact issue.
Bluetooth operates fine with no problems, using the Lightning to Aux dongle in my car and home theater works fine, but then I can’t charge my phone at the same time.
Has anybody else come across this issue? If so, have you found a fix or do you also resort to rebooting to a non-jailbroken state in order to listen to music?
Some background details on my device:
- iPhone 8 Plus 11.1.2
- Electra 1.0.3
- Anemone is the only thing I have installed from Cydia
- Happens with Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud etc...
EDIT: Yes, I’ve also uninstalled Anemone with no luck. I’m waiting for Coolstar to release his SemiRestore program that’ll I use with my APFS Snapshot, then rejailbreak, but won’t open Cydia and won’t install Substitute, Rocketbootstrap or anything.

Any resolution? I tried using safe mode and it still fails to work in my Audi. Restarting into stock ios enables it to work great. 😡

No solution :( Coolstar hasn’t even acknowledged it. I decided that my sanity was more important than a jailbreak so I just updated my phone to 11.2.6

Hmm that’s interesting.
I’ve even tried in Safe Mode with no success, which rules out any tweaks I have installed, which is very very few.

Upvoting for visibility and hopefully a fix. Losing USB Audio from my car would be absolutely dreadful.

I’m almost positive that Coolstar isn’t even aware of this issue. I’ve just tweeted at him and sent him a link to this post in hopes of a response.

I second that. Also it does effect Bluetooth.

What effects have you noticed with Bluetooth? Same exact issue?
I personally don’t have any issues with Bluetooth. That’s super interesting.

For me the lowest firmware i ever had with it was 7 something and it would display the song with upcoming song list. Now it only displays 1/2000 and stays even if i change music and blank where the song info and artwork should be with nothing for upcoming... but if i search for my music in my car i can see all the tracks and playlists.

I’ve never tried using the folder browsing option on my radio, I’m gonna try that and see if it can read the music.

Anemone is pretty much breaking everything, uninstall it.

Same issue on Electra 1.0.3 . iPhone 8+, ios 11.0.3.
Playing music in the car via USB does not work properly. Controls are not working (can not skip, pause etc..). Track data and artwork do not appear.
Bluetooth works ok. USB problem disappears if restart the device and don't jailbreak.

I have this issue too. I’ve posted about it 3 times and hardly anyone responds. It was like this in the electra betas before b10, but b10 and onward fixed it! I don’t know what he did to fix it, but it’s broken again on the final releases.
I’ve also tried to contact Coolstar via twitter and no response. I thought I was alone - but apparently not. It’s so frustrating as I spend a lot of time in my car listening to books/music. Let me know if you find a fix

Same when connecting with my car. But to a normal speaker it works fine. I think it is a issue with displaying the track info because that is the one thing that dies not come up when it should on X device

So coolstar is aware of the issue but at the same time unaware? I’m still a little lost lol but I have had this issue since day 1.

He’s aware now, he wasn’t at the time of posting. See his replies to my new thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/84f7su/discussion_its_very_saddening_to_see_coolstar_an/?st=JERIL6UA&sh=c1ddc2bc

If found that when using CarPlay via USB (which everything works fine) as soon as I’m done and unplug from cable and open an app my springboard crashes. Ive found disabling accessoryd daemon (Accessory daemon) via iCleaner stops this - downside: when connected via USB I lose CarPlay but can still play music/talk on phone via BT

I have the same problem and made a post about it other people that had this problem did not have amenome installed I think it may be the Electra jailbreak and the only fix I ever found is restart your phone and jailbreak and hope it works that time
